St. Johns County Soil & Drainage Profile
St. Johns County features poorly drained flatwoods Spodosols across most of the mainland with well-drained dune sands along the coast. The county's rapid development is converting large tracts of flatwoods to residential use, requiring comprehensive stormwater engineering for each new subdivision.
St. Johns County is Florida's fastest-growing county by percentage, with master-planned communities like Nocatee and Shearwater transforming thousands of acres of pine flatwoods into residential neighborhoods. The engineering challenge is designing stormwater systems that handle the dramatically increased runoff from impervious surfaces while maintaining the character of the natural landscape that attracted residents in the first place.
